From SI article 2020

With the RoughRiders, he was the recipient of the Curt Hammer Award, given to the USHL player who “distinguishes himself both on and off the ice by demonstrating outstanding performance skills, pride, and determination.”

The award was well-merited, given McLaughlin’s community involvement and team-first attitude:

  • He was present at every game, practice and weightlifting session even though he was battling injuries most of the year.
  • He coordinated players’ community appearances.
  • He worked at a nonprofit childcare center on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7am-9am.
  • On Wednesdays, he mentored students at a local elementary school.
  • McLaughlin coordinated the team’s involvement with the Special Olympics and the Freedom Foundation, where players conversed with and served lunch to veterans.
  • He also volunteered at two senior centers.
  • He delivered cookies to first responders.
  • And he coordinated a fundraiser with a local restaurant to raise money to support the Humboldt Broncos.
Again, for McLaughlin, reflecting on the award brings to mind his teammates and the community, not the personal leadership that merited him the award.

Well if he delivers cookies he'll fit right in here. Won't he @Bruinaura? :)

Seriously he sounds like a great person, here's hoping he will be as great a player for the Bruins!

He's 22, not 32. He can function on a five-hour sleep schedule better than most of us could with the typical eight hours.

I really thought his positioning for a guy playing his first game was fantastic. Coming in I thought I heard a cross between Acciari without the heavy hits and Kuraly without the speed. Both of those comps are fine if he plays a complete 200’ game which it appeared to be the case tonight.

Trying not too get carried away, but he doesn’t bump anyone on the 4th line when Smith returns does he?

Not sure why Cassidy stated Acciari

MM ceiling is higher. Faster skater. Better hands/passing skills

Reminds me closer to Anthony Cirelli (style)

Thought Bruce’s press conference was interesting. It’s a good thing to have some internal competition and he seems to like the kid

When Smith returns... the only slot available would be on the 4th line. Unless JDB craps his pants

Not banking that MM takes over a vet spot... . But its good to know he is available

More impressed by MM one game than all of Studnickas games combined thus far...
